So I have been working with AJPTurbo on getting a solid meth tune on my 2010 Non-PP SHO. I have extensively tested his tune and others at my local 1/8 mile track along with a few runs at the 1/4 mile track. Working with AJPTurbo has always been a great experience and this is no different. I have personally worked with 4 different tuners and AJPTurbo provides the most detailed information on what he is changing and why he is changing things. I also can tell you that there is no other SCT tuner with his breadth of knowledge on this platform and ability to make smart changes. We went through several revisions and several highly experimental revisions with my permission attempting to get some really beneficial changes for us Non-PP folks. AJPTurbo I feel really takes what the ford engineers have done and blends in his own custom sauce in a way that really makes these cars come alive. Add a little meth into the picture he has been able to take it to the next level.
I will say that his process is no different than any other SCT tuner. Base tune, datalog, tune revision.. rinse and repeat. This process is not for everyone but the benefits are there. With some datalogging and working with Brad I have a very low 12 second car if not a tickling 11's with a better tire/wheel setup, good air, and a well prepped track. Hot lapping in 95F degree temps on 20inch wheels on a tune that was just loaded netted me 12.35... but you have to be willing to work with AJPTurbo on datalogging. Did I mention this is on 93 pump gas and 100% meth injection? No need for race fuel or E blends..
At the track his meth tune cleans house. I have YET to loose to a street car at the track running his tune. At the 1/8 mile track where I have tested extensively it never misses a beat and is EXTREMELY consistent once you figure out how to get it off the line. I can run 7.92 - 7.95 all day long at my local 1/8 mile track while hot lapping or letting it cool. The runs are clean, the datalogs are IMPRESSIVELY smooth, and the car just flat out runs. I dare someone to find a boost curve as smooth as his are..
At the 1/4 mile track the few runs I did were just as impressive. In full disclosure I did flash his tune while at the track which is not the best way to really test these tunes out. There are a lot of adaptive's for the transmission and Octane Adjust Ratio on the 2010-2012 cars that get reset when you put a new flash on not to mention all the fuel trims need to be stabilize again. At the 1/4 mile track this tune just kept getting faster every time I ran it. My ambient temps according the logs were sitting at 95F and I still put down a 12.35 which was significantly faster than my other tested tune. The car still ran cool after hammering it as well, maybe a slightly bit warmer than my coolest tune, but still well under what my other tuners do. In short, I can hot lap this car SEVERAL times without needing to worry about temps getting out of hand.
From an in the seat feel I don't have any tune that throws me back into the seat like this one does nor sounds as aggressive as this tune does. I wanted a tune that felt nasty and this one hits all the marks. It really does feel like a twin turbo meth injected beast!
Daily driving this tune is as consistent on the street as on the track. The overall feel is smooth while still maintaining that beastly feel I was looking for. Out of all the tunes I have, AJPTurbo is the tune I use the most, and its my daily driver tune as well as my track tune. His tune is extremely predictable on the street without any hiccups. Back roads, traffic, merging onto highways, the tune just blends right in. After hot lapping his tune at the track, I can turn around and drive it 86 miles home in heavy traffic without a single problem. This is all on 93 pump gas with meth injection, no need to worry about race gas or ethanol mixes so stopping for gas is not an issue.
It's funny because I was initially worried about how hard his tune is on the car because of how nasty the car runs, but after comparing the logs and personal experience between the tuners I have, his tune really does not push this car as hard as other tuners do. LMS always talks about how little boost they use to achieve the results they have, well, Brad doesn't really crank the boost out either to achieve even better results. On my particular meth tune, his demanded boost is not much more than LMS.. it still well within the efficiency of our stock snails. Like I said, one of the key factors I take into account from a wear and tear perspective is how much heat the tune generates. His tunes don't generate much more than the LMS tunes do and far less than the other tuners that have worked on my car. The only reason I am comparing it with LMS is that LMS is the coolest tune I have but Brads tune is not that much different.
End result is that AJPTurbos tune is the fastest tune by a long shot that I have and is very well mannered on the street. This is the tune that I run for a daily driver and at the track. Its a great balance of performance and comfort so you can eat SRT's, BMW, and Coyotes all day long and then take the family on a road trip without worrying about switching tunes.
I cannot speak highly enough of how well designed and thought out my AJPTurbo's meth tune is. If you are looking to get the most of what you have, then AJP is the best your gonna get. After dealing with 4 different tuners trying to get my car where I want it over the past 2 years, I can finally stop looking.
